Lost & Found

March 23, 2010

I counted 126 items in the lost & found today!! That means that most of our
children have left something at school and it is waiting there for you.

ALL ITEMS IN THE LOST AND FOUND ARE BEING DONATED TO CHARITY AFTER FRIDAY!!

So, please come check the lost and found for your families belongings THIS WEEK!!

There are clothes hung on hooks in the little room on the right of the stage in
the Community Hall. AND there is an overflow rack outside the Community Hall
double doors. Check BOTH locations!

After Friday EVERYTHING will be donated.

Please!

Parent Ed Opportunity with Alfie Kohn

March 19, 2010

Dear Families,

I'm sure you all saw the flyer in yesterday's Thursday packet for the Alfie Kohn
talk on April 15th at 7:00pm.

I wanted to give you some additional details on how to get tickets.

The organizers are holding seats for Odyssey parents and guardians to attend the
7:00 talk, but they have changed the ticketing process.

YOU MUST RESERVE YOUR SEAT. They feel this evening will sell out, so you need
to bring a printed ticket to get a seat. Seats are FREE, but must be reserved
online.

Just go to:
http://alfiekohnatoxy.eventbrite.com/

Enter the number of tickets you need into the area next to "Odyssey". Please
don't reserve more than you need, because seats are limited. After you
register, you will be emailed a ticket to print.

If you don't have access to a printer, please have a friend get you a ticket.

Thanks,
Cari

OCS - Thank you!

March 10, 2010

Dear Odyssey Families,

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. Because of your generous donations of time and money, we
were able to raise $720 at the brunch and arts "50-50" on Feb 27. This is
GREAT. Your participation is really moving us forward!!

Also our ebay sales raised $721.58 in the month of February. Thank you for the
donations! Keep those items coming in to Ellen for more ebay auctions.

Even our box tops just brought in $37. Every little bit helps!

Keep up the good work, everyone!

Lost and found:
Parents please take a moment after dropping your child off or at pick up time,
and check the Lost and Found area next to the stage in the community room (near
the exit door to the parking area).

We have provided hooks and a rack for hanging items that students leave laying
around.
 

Your child may also go into the area to look for their missing articles of
clothing.
